Implementing IED 2.0: Achievable Emission Limits for Industrial Installations
02 October 2024
Considerations of EUTurbines, EUGINE & EUROMOT on the recently published revision of the Industrial Emissions Directive
In August 2024, the revised EU Industrial Emissions Directive (“IED 2.0”) entered into force. As any directive, it requires a transposition into national legislation, EU Member States will have to incorporate its provisions into their national laws by 01 July 2026. The directive mandates emission limit values (ELVs) for industrial installations, such as large combustion power plants. However, it allows flexibility by emphasizing that ELVs should be set at the “strictest achievable” levels, taking into account technical and economic feasibility. EUTurbines, EUGINE and EUROMOT stress that national authorities are not required to impose the absolute lowest emission levels, but rather the most achievable ones within the BAT-AEL range.
